Yep, it was a boo-boo. Check it out:
Before… it’s Quest:
And after…it’s Blast!
Voila! Further proof that Pogo webmasters are only human, too!

From the Community Center today comes an official mention of Sudoku Puzzle Quest. (What happened to “Blast”? Did someone make a boo-boo?) This news comes along with some screenshots. (Hey they’re mice after all!) Oddly enough, today’s post does not mention a “coming soon”, just that it’s a new twist on the classic Sudoku and it’ll be easy enough for anyone to learn.
Pogo is really cranking out these Limited Edition Mix-n-Match Badges. They’ve got another one in the works with a definite Easter theme. As Spike paints an Easter egg, a baby chick pops out and steals his paintbrush. The animated chat icon for it is a little wobbling Easter egg. Totally cute.
This will probably be available for purchase for only the week of Easter and will be the Limited Edition price of 22 gems. We’ll let you know as soon as we get information on what the challenge will be and in what game.
Attention Pogo UK members: don’t forget that tonight is Bingo Night. Join in the social and earn 6,000 free tokens when you play Bingo Luau. Meet in either “Eyes Down (UK)” or “Legs Eleven (UK)” to socialize from 6 to 7 pm (although playing in any room at any time during the day will get you your tokens.)
Here are some random facts about Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring that you may or may not know. Some of these are tips, some of these are just things we’ve found interesting as we’ve been playing.
• When you play the game and are not connected and are not in a game room, you play as you normally would. However, instead of minis getting trapped, Ally Carter gets trapped. You have three minutes to clear 5 peaks, and when you do you still get a portion of the rescue booty.
• If you right-click, you can draw the next card in the deck. You can right-click anywhere on the screen to make this happen.
• Once you have found all 57 relics, you may visit any area on the map (India, China, Easter Island, Panama, or Area 52) to gain more jackpot spins and thus more ranks (and badges).
• Contrary to rumors, there are no hidden areas or relics. (cry cry cry!)
• If you’re a trapped mini and you get a streak of 7 cards or more, you will send a Wild Card to every other player. They’ll thank you for this, so try to do it.
• If you don’t save a mini (either connected or not), nothing bad happens to you or them, but nobody gets a share of the rescue booty (which can be tokens and rubies).
• For right now, it seems as if the game disconnects from the internet when it encounters a full room. To remedy this, click on the “Connect” button at the bottom middle of your screen, then choose “Play” at the left. When given a list of game rooms, choose one that is lower than 19 players or use the “Play Now” button, which will put you into a room that has a space for you.
• If you have problems with the game running slowly (or choppy, or crashing), go into Options and uncheck “Video Acceleration”. Unchecking “Full Screen Mode”, “Millions of Colors”, and “Enhanced Cursor” has also helped players who otherwise could not play the game successfully.
• If you have collected all of the relics and stop gaining ranks, Pogo has written up a solution/workaround.
If you have tips, hints, or special information about this game that you’ve found helpful, please send us an email and let us know what you’ve found.

While incomplete, we have a rough draft of the How to Play and Rules for Sudoku Puzzle Blast. These rules are lengthier than usual, and that’s probably due to the fact that Sudoku in general is daunting to the average “casual gamer”, but also that Pogo’s twist on this game is so very unique (dare we say it’s like pseudoku?). In addition, this “How to Play” seems to have been written in a lighthearted, more playful and conversational style than the other rulesets. With all of that said, it’s still missing screenshots and will probably go through a round of edits before the final version.
From all of us here at BadgeHungry, we wish you all a happy Valentine’s Day!
